Moritz Furste on India's Hockey Resurgence and Fitness Revolution

Former German hockey captain Moritz Furste praises India's hockey resurgence and highlights the need for consistency in their performance. He discusses the evolution of Indian hockey towards a European style and expresses his goal to promote his fitness competition, Hyrox, across Indian cities.

Two-time Olympic gold medallist and former German hockey captain, Moritz Furste, has shared his insights on India's significant progress in hockey over the last decade, emphasizing consistency as the "little missing piece" in their journey to gold.

India, once far from the top-tier nations, has made commendable strides with consecutive Olympic bronze medals. Despite this, Furste believes that while India can compete for medals, they must achieve final-level consistency to seize the gold.

Furste, also the founder of the Hyrox fitness event, is set to introduce his unique competition format in India, starting with an event in Mumbai followed by Delhi and Bengaluru. This endeavor aims to combine running with functional workouts, appealing to fitness enthusiasts across the nation.
